Edward Weston was a pioneer in the field of modern photography, and his work has had a profound impact on the art form.The book begins with a brief overview of Weston's life, including his early years in Chicago and his move to California in the 1920s. From there, the author delves into Weston's artistic career, exploring his early experiments with photography and his eventual development of a unique style that emphasized sharp focus, strong contrast, and careful composition.Throughout the book, Woodbury provides a detailed analysis of Weston's most famous works, including his iconic images of peppers, shells, and nudes. He also explores Weston's relationships with other artists and his influence on the development of modern photography.Despite its short length, A Measure For Greatness provides a comprehensive overview of Weston's life and work, making it an excellent resource for anyone interested in the history of photography or the life of this important artist.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
